Formula
Formula
m/s = m/min × 0.01666667
Multiply any value in metres per minute by 0.01666667 to obtain the value in metres per second.
Worked example
Convert 60 m/min to m/s.
- 01Start with 60 m/min.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 60 × 0.01666667 = 1 m/s.
Result60 m/min = 1 m/s

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from m/min to m/s?
1 m/min equals 0.01666667 m/s. To convert, multiply the value in metres per minute by 0.01666667.
How do I convert 1 m/min to m/s?
1 m/min = 0.0166667 m/s. For any value, multiply by 0.01666667.
How do I convert m/s back to m/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 60. So 1 m/s = 60 m/min.
When would I need to convert metre per minute to metre per second?
Velocity conversions are needed for fluid flow analysis (line velocity targets, erosional limits), gas-stream calculations, and equipment specs that mix m/s, ft/s and engineering speed units.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
